REGINA, SK – Bushwakker Brewpub has announced details of a new limited edition beer that honours a legendary Canadian-born actor.

Tartan Kiss Maple Oaked Stout is being released in conjunction with the appearance of William Shatner at this weekend’s Fan Expo Regina. The 6% abv ale has the following notes:

The Tartan Kiss is a rich stout which pays homage to William’s Montreal birthplace by incorporating special imported dark maple syrup from Quebec as well as Macallan single malt scotch, oak and La Gardin Chateauneuf du Pape French red wine. Mr. Shatner has visited the Bushwakker previously to enjoy our 20th anniversary brew, The Tartan Tzar. He has also tried our 25th anniversary ale, The Revenge of the Tartan Tzar and stated, “This could be the best beer and the best single malt I have ever tasted.”

Tartan Kiss will be released tomorrow (Friday May 5th) at Bushwakker in a limited run of 500 bottles – featuring a label inspired by the famous kiss between Kirk and Uhura – and several kegs. There will also be a special firkin of the beer tapped at 5:30 PM, and there’s a good chance that a “very special guest” will be on hand for the tapping ceremony.
